My dad scoffed a little, but I wish he had taken a little more than a “hey, it’s your paper route money” attitude as the bank teller changed my 20$ bill into a money order. Several weeks later, I received a pair of flimsy plastic, ray-ban themed shades with pathetically matching black plastic lenses and an “instruction pamphlet” that did nothing more than rub salt into the wound. Pops just smiled as I complained at length. No response, just a big old grin. When it comes to products that served dual purposes, no one had it better than James Bond. Wouldn’t you agree? He had a wristwatch with an ultra practical garrote wire for those times when the comparative quiet of asphyxiation was preferable. Who wouldn’t want a pair of suspenders with a built-in grappling cord for when there’s no other way out of the building than down the side of it? His Mont Blanc fountain pen with its most appealing nitric acid dart function was the stuff of envy. 007 had the best in multi-function items, including my personal favorite – the .30 caliber ski pole from The Spy Who Loved Me. I’m not exaggerating when I say I think about it at some point nearly every time I’m on the hill.
Unfortunately, most of us have to settle for more commonplace applications of hybrid function technology, but that’s not to say there aren’t a few gems out there. While both the common man and a secret agent could appreciate the practicality of a compass watch or maybe even an am / fm flashlight, I’m thinking more domestically here. Few things are more practical and welcome in the home than a sleeper sofa, and here in the 21st century we’re fortunate enough to be able to peruse Cymax Stores Online and their large and competitively priced selection of convertible sofas from home. Versatility is the key, and the ability to tuck a children’s sleeper chair or an adult sleeper chair into a storage space and pull it out when guests necessitate its use is sure to be a welcome application for both yourself and your extended family. The same can be said for a children’s sleeper sofa in its being a most useful convenience for older or larger youth who need a little more space during the sleepovers that all kids insist on having from time to time. The ability to accommodate your guests comfortably with a sofa bed is a reassurance that appeals to all who don’t have the luxury of an additional guest room, or one at all, in their home. A comfortable and suitably spacious place to repose and sleep well is sure to be provided with one from Cymax Stores. The model that is not only a sofa and a bed, but a submersible escape pod with satellite-guided armaments?
You’ll have to talk to Q at MI6 about that one.
